Why Won’t Democrats Reach Out To Trump Supporters?

“I think the media blows stuff out of proportion for sensationalism,” Mario Fachini told the Times. 
Asked specifically if he believed threats to fill the federal government with Trump allies, Fachini said, “I don’t.” He added, “It could just be for publicity, just riling up the news.” 
Another voter, Mary Burney, shrugged off threats to prosecute Trump’s opponents. 
“I don’t think that’s on his list of things to do,” she said. “No, no.” 
Tom Pierce didn’t believe the mass deportation claims. 
“He may say things, and then it gets people all upset, but then he turns around and he says, ‘No, I’m not doing that.’ he said. “It’s a negotiation. But people don’t understand that.” 
He also doubted Trump would impose tariffs on imports. “No,” he said when asked if he thought it would happen. “That’s the other thing. You’ve got to sometimes scare these other countries.”
... 
“People think he says things for effect, that he’s blustering, because that’s part of what he does, his shtick. They don’t believe that it’s actually going to happen,” Republican pollster Neil Newhouse told the Times.
"A man hears what he wants to hear, and disregards the rest.”
